Scar Revision:When the skin is cut due to injury or operation the body heals by scar. A scar may look bad due to position, color, depth or wrong direction. However if the scar is removed, it will be healed by another scar. However, a new scar could be made in such a way that it does not look ugly. So a scar can be revised not removed.
